I have the following code which triggers when the user double clicks on a field:

Code:
[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]Application.FollowHyperLink "http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=" & BusinessName[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]

This works fairly well and opens Google to search for the value in the BusinessName field. However, some Businesses contain "&" - which causes issues... The Google search only returns the text prior to the "&". Is there a way to include all of the field?

E.g.
Business Name = Jack & Jones
Google Search = Jack
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
